Thinking of getting something for that special someone, this Valentine’s day? How about a 4G smartphone from T-Mobile? According to these screen shots (and past rumors), T-Mobile will be holding a one-day sale on February 11th, dedicated to all the love birds out there. But this is not just any sale – customers will be able to purchase any 4G device for free after mail-in rebate.
This is after signing a 2-year contract, of course. This deal is applicable to both Classic and Value plan subscribers, which happens to be a first for these “All Hands Day” sales. Such sales were only applicable to Value plan subscribers before, making this a much more enticing offer.
According to TmoNews‘ sources, those that pick the Classic rate plans will have to pay for the device’s usual subsidized price and receive the full amount via a mail-in rebate card. Value plan subscribers will get the same treatment after paying the down payment. (Upgrade rules and migration fees apply).
All T-Mobile retail stores, customer service and authorized dealers will be participating on this offer. If interested, you might want to wait for the official announcement for more details, which is rumored to be as soon as this afternoon (according to the sources).
Let’s sit tight and wait to hear official details. Is anyone taking advantage of this sale? And just out of curiosity – will anyone actually purchase a phone for a Valentine’s day gift?

Christmas sales are done before Christmas. Why should a Valentine’s Day sale be different?
Plus, it’s not a good idea to buy your special someone a Valentine gift on Valentine’s Day.
As for the sale, it’s obviously a great deal. I took advantage of a similar T-Mobile sale (Father’s Day) in 2010. In fact, it’s what helped me decide to switch over to T-Mobile.

ReplyI just got a sensation for $20, I’ve already got ICS and all its goodies…should I get the amaze and save $20?

ReplyYou’re just feeding my buyer’s remorse haha. I think I’ll just stick with the sensation, its got a good dev community and it seems to be a proper successor to my recently deceased N1. I’m sure the amaze is a great device but I know I’ll be saying that a lot with MWC coming up, might as well be happy with what I’ve got.

The Politbureau boss on the meeting tells his partaigenosses:
- Comrades, i have bad and good news — which one to tell you first?
- The bad first!
- Well, i have to tell you, brothers, that there is nothing at all to eat. Only sh#t.
- Noooooo…. And the good one ?
- And good one is that we’ve got a LOT of sh#t
LooGuest 3 hours ago Thumb upThumb down -1I HAVE A QUESTION!!!
What if you are already a customer with a 2 yr family plan contract would I be eligible to get a free phone????
P.S. we go the plan on summer last year ( July or august )
Reply 88R.S 2 hours ago Thumb upThumb down 0No of course not otherwise people would constantly upgrade every time a new model came out.
The main point behind subsidized prices is for the carrier to lock you into a contract. If you are already in a contract, they are already guaranteed to get your money (until your contract runs out) and thus have nothing to gain by allowing you to get a free phone.
